Stage Tipping

Depends on the girl and how busy the club is and how busy she is. If she is with a guy, that doesnt appear to be a regular, before stage I will tip more. If there are plenty of dancers I tip less. But it depends on other things to, some girls love the attention on stage and prefer to be tipped where everyone can see it, but usually I tip less when dancing.

I don't expect anything for a stage tip and I normally won't wait around for attention. I'm just not that type of guy. I will generally tip $3-5 if I am simply enjoying the show and wish to thank her or a bit more if I am actively seeking her attention after her set. For girls I am working to take OTC, I may drop a $20 during each of her stage sets.

Generally agree with the comments above, although I usually wait to make sure she sees me drop the tip, then walk back to my seat. But if I want her to come see me after the stage show, I do two things. First, I look at the tips dropped by other PL's at the rail and I tip at least as much or more than the highest one as long as it's not stupid money (like $10-$40+). Second, I wait for her to come to my area of the rail and ask her to come see me after her show. Then I walk back to my seat.

I just don't see any value in dropping $3-$5 for every pair of nipples that get flashed on stage.

Rain making has been discussed plenty on the board - rain makers usually do it more to draw attention to themselves (show off), than trying to get the girl's attention - IME rain-makers are usually not interested in dances and it's usually just about the main-room theatrics

I don't stage tip often but if I do it's usually $4 or $5 to show my interest and $8 to $10 if I'm trying to enjoy her stage set vs just trying to show my interest

Samiel one thing you need to learn is that strip clubs in Texas tend to be a little different than other parts of the USA. There is definitely less stage tipping especially at bucks. I usually tip 2-5 if I am enjoying watching the dancer or I want to get dances with her.

I am different than most, I guess. I love to tip the girls on stage. Not for attention, but simply because I enjoy their efforts. I have no issue with tipping 10 ones over a 3 song set. They are there to make money and I am there to watch titties for my personal enjoyment. If a nipple finds it’s way into my eye socket, all the better.

$5, no more than $20, and it's a really good value when you're the only one who does tip.

I notice it’s more the groups (especially mixed gender ones) who do more of the rain making thing. And that’s usually more of:

1. nice ass twerking
2. pole tricks

For your purposes, $3-5 and verbally stating “come see me later—I’ll be over there” (point to location) is probably good enough.

Though that being said, upping it to $5 or $10 is not a bad idea if you think it may be harder to keep her attention for whatever reason. I do think there’s a bigger psychological impact on just handing it as a $5 or $10 bill though. Idk if that’s just me though

I don’t always stage tip but if I want to get a dancers attention I generally will put a five or ten dollar bill on the rail and ask her to join me wherever I’m sitting, if I’m already hanging out with a dancer and we’re drinking together I will either tip her on stage a ten or twenty each time she goes on stage if I’m enjoying her company just to keep her interested, I find that giving her a generous tip keeps her with me instead of going to join someone else that approaches her while she’s running her sets. It works well for me I’ve even done this with two or three girls at the same time if I want to keep them with me, it rarely falls.

I generally tip the girls on stage sometimes just a few bucks, but if they do some spectacular pole tricks I try to reward them with $5’s. Now if I really want them to come visit with me I will give a lot of ones and then a five or ten just before she goes off stage. Almost always works.

The way I tip:

• If I want to get the attention of a stripper I'm interested in, and she hasn't come by my table, I'll go to her stage and tip her $3-$5 per song. I just want her to have to come by me to pick up my singles and thank me, so I can invite her back to my table

• I'm often at the club during it's dead-est shifts; sometimes, there's only me (possibly with a buddy(s)) and one or two other customers, so the girls on stage are not getting tipped a dime. During these times, if I don't have a girl at the table, sometimes I set up camp at the row of tables that's one row back from the stage, and as every girl comes up, I'll walk up to the stage, drop her 4 or 5 dollars, and then go back to my seat. This seems to generate good will from the girls over the long term. It does mean some girls I'm not interested in will come by my table, but this is not a situation that's stressful for me and I'll just explain I'm just stage tipping, so I don't mind that this happens -- but perhaps not a good strategy for people who get anxiety over strippers they're not interested in coming to their table. Plus, I never know if that girl might end up appealing to one of my buddys on some other trip, or whether she'll be a rockin' fun drinking buddy, or whatever.

If I want the girl to come see after she gets off stage, I tip two dollars. Then I smile and tell her to come see me. Unless she has a prior commitment, that seems to work every time.

^Sirlap’s approach is pretty similar to mine.

I think there is also a “club norm” which varies from place to place. I try to keep that in mind as well when deciding how much to tip.

@huntsman

I think there is also a “club norm” which varies from place to place. < that’s absolutely true, the trick is to know exactly where that is and occasionally go above that norm when you find that girl that gets your motor running to keep her entertaining you.

I tip a few bucks if I like her and don't care if she comes and sees me after. I'll tip up to 20 if I'm trying to get her attention amd be the next PL she sits with

I like stage tipping too, and it most always leads to a really fun interaction.

Sunnyvale Brass Rail was my favorite place for that, but gone now.

I don't understand why I would tip a stage. It does not do anything. I only tip dancers. They are sexier than stages

^ Try tipping cows that seems to be a sport around here. ; )

At the Sunnyvale Brass Rail it was possible to buy my lunch at their hoffbrau, and get my soft drink at the hoffbrau price instead of the bar price. They I could have lots of fun stage tipping one girl in particular, J.. Brass rail had 4 stages and after the lunch crowd left, it was pretty much a private show with the girl. No touching, but still fun. Would have been easy to see her outside, civilian. Do all that, and still not go over $20.

Gone now though.

25- I grew up in West Texas. We went cow tippin' a lot.

Cow tipping and cow frisbees were my kind of fun. Yep, I’m fucked up.

^^ Cow chip throwing. I thought I was the only redneck around here.

Two dollars is a nice move if she stops by for the dollar parade. A smarter move is to cut the bullshit and tell her that you would be interested in 3-4 dances when she's available. This will put you to the top of the queue if other customers ask her for a dance. I wouldnt over tip at the bar. Whenever I overtip a fav I find this attracts other guys to join in. Not sure why that is. Either they see my tipping as an endorsement of her beauty or they love the challenge of trying to outbid you

@NJBalla

I have noticed it too...

Seems some people just love the challenge of trying to outbid you...

But I’m not cut out for that...

This ain’t no auction...

It’s a strip club...

I used to tip every girl that got on stage before learning on here that I was being stupid.

I show them the money then shove it down the front of my pants and tell them “come and get it”. Usually works great but sometimes the paper cuts ...... yikes!!!

@SLD I’m usually hanging out with one or two or more girls at a table or the bar often a buddy joins me, I was in Vixens about two weeks ago and the two girls hanging with me got tipped while they were sitting with me plus the gout even sent over drinks, they didn’t miss a beat the thanked the doofus and came right back to daddy lockdown;)

Maybe in some of the urban black clubs, but if you go to certain white clubs with a strong stage tipping culture, you'll definitely see it used as a means to keep or get a girl's attention. It's not uncommon in Queens, for example. I've also seen it in places like Baltimore and even WV. I sucks when it happens because unless one is willing to compete with the stage tip, it is almost assured that the girl is going to beeline to the tipper when she gets offstage. I'm not willing to burn a Benji for a stage tip, so I just shrug it off and save my resources for better locales, where I can get the hottest girls without having to do this.

@SirLapdancealot

What does your trolldar say about @fun_loving_fellow?

I noticed on one of his discussions, he used the expression "chumps game"....Sounds oddly familiar.

If I sit at stage, I'll tip $1 or a few, depending. My main club does the $dollar dance thing, I love those mini laps, again a $ or 3. If I'm impressed enough to tip more I'm going for private dance(s).

As sirlap does, I'll have to work on my massage techniques, do more tipping with finger tips. :-)

Someone here -- GoVikings maybe? -- gave interesting, real-life insight into the psychology behind making it rain. That psychology applies to literally none of the guys here, I reckon. But the experience rain makers are after is completely different than the experience a PL is after, and there's absolutely no reason for PLs to adopt it. For us, $5/song tip is all that's needed to get her attention enough to come by after her song and say thanks, and that's when we can invite her back to the table

SirLap: ya, in the clubs I go to, the girls don't collect their tips until after their set is over anyway, so "the same time she takes the tip" and "after her set is done and she comes by to thank me" are same thing. I don't bother tipping in g-strings, I don't see the point and don't get any pleasure out of it, so just drop my singles on the stage in front of me

Yes, making it rain is to publicly claim ownership.

But one time a girl at the Brass Rail was for some reason directing all her attention at me. No idea why,

Frustrated guy made $20 of rain. She still ignored it.
